I create networks by integrating many databases. Several of the source datasets for my current project are from publication supplements. The publications range from open source to subscription with journal specific licensing.

Does the license of an article apply to its data supplements? Is data supplement licensing journal specific?

If an article's license applies to supplements and copyright was transferred to the journal, is distribution or reuse of the data supplement solely up to the journal? Do data consumers, such as myself, require the journal's permission rather than the authors' permission for reuse?

Ask Open Science used to be called Open Science Q&A but we changed the name when we registered the domain ask-open-science.org. Everything else stays the same: We are still hosted by Bielefeld University Library.
